Choquequirao Trek – Trek to Choquequirao from Cusco

We will pick you up from your Cusco hotel in our private transportation and drive you to Capuliyoc, a little town. The Choquequirao Trek begins at this location. We’ll meet the porters, muleteers, and chef here, who will assist us with our belongings and accompany us for the next four days.

Following a delectable Andean breakfast, we will begin a 20-minute ascent along the Apurimac River’s path to a lookout with panoramic views of the valley.

Then we’ll start descending to Chiquisqa via a road lined with various plantations, the majority of which are used for medical purposes. Our guide will go over these plants in further depth.

Upon arrival in Chiquisqa we will stop for lunch. After a break we will continue descending to Playa Rosalinas which is the border between Apurimac and Cusco.

After crossing a Rosalinas bridge we will climb a hill to Marampata which is 3500 meters above the sea level. This is where we will spend the night in a comfortable tent.

A nice cup of Peruvian coffee or tea will be served to you. After breakfast, we’ll go for a walk to the Choquequirao archaeological complex. Our knowledgeable local guide will take you on a complete tour of the wonderfull complex.

The main square, ceremonial centers, agricultural terraces, and other sites will be visited. After visit this beautiful site, we’ll return to camp for lunch.

You will have the opportunity to return to the complex later to see the sunset. At night, we’ll serve a delicious dinner.

After a fantastic breakfast, we’ll continue our walk to Chiquiska, where we’ll camp tonight. In the raod we were watching the Andean condors fly overhead.

We’ll journey through some small towns surrounded by lush nature before stopping for lunch at Rosalinas Beach.

We’ll continue walking after lunch to Chiquiska’s camp, where we’ll have a lovely evening and rest.

After a hearty breakfast, we’ll go for three hours uphill to Cachora, where we’ll have one final lunch.

We’ll say our goodbyes to the porters and chefs after lunch. We’ll board the vehicle that will return us to Cusco.

On the way back, we can stop and swim by Apurimac’s Conoc hot springs.
